Billie's Story
It is hard to believe that we graduated 55 years ago and that we also married August 29, 1964. I went to work at Commercial Securities on Lee St as a summer job making about $220 a month. I had met my future husband in January got engaged in June and planned to go to LSUA in the fall. William was making about $235 per month and working part time for Laverne Perry selling shoes so we decided we could make it fine and decided to get married in August. Needless to say I never made it to college. January 4 1971 I got a job with Ford Motor Credit Consumer Loans . We had one child by this time Shane was born November 14th 1969. Within a short time on my new job I became pregnant with my second child Kristy was born ...Expand for more
June 15th 1972. I tell everyone money was so tight I had to have my babies on payday. I worked at Ford until they closed our office in 1991. Mr Head had the Ford Dealership in Oakdale and offered me a job there. The dealership changed hands twice but I stayed on until I got a grandson in 2007 and I retired to keep him. He is 12 years old now but I never went back to work. William was elected Sheriff in 1991 so keeping up with social engagements and my grandson has been plenty to keep me busy. We have traveled a lot mostly job related, conventions, seminars but a few fun trips scattered over the years. I have had wonderful experiences that I could not have even imagined as that girl at Bolton High School in 1964.
